We had an amazing time learning all about champagne and tasting the different varieties. I would highly recommend this if you are visiting the area. Emily was fantastic and even gave us recommendations for places to eat around town.
Dear Carla, So glad the tasting class delivered such a rich experience! Discovering the different varieties of Champagne and understanding what makes each one unique is exactly what these sessions are all about. Champagne never runs out of surprises, and we would love to share more of them with you! Best regards, A la Française Champagne Team 🥂
We booked this tasting last minute because we were too disorganised to book a champagne house in advance and I’m so glad that we found it. It was great! I went with my wife and three adult children. Anne was so passionate and knowledgeable about champagne making and its history. She made us all feel welcome for the moment we arrived. I now understand what cuvee, brut, and vintage mean in the champagne world. A central location, great champagne tasting and a lovely way to start the morning in Reims. Thank you Anne!
Dear Daniel, Anne will be so happy to read this! Her passion for Champagne and its history clearly made the morning special for the whole family. So glad the last minute decision turned into such a lovely start to the day in Reims! A bientôt in Champagne, we hope to see you back very soon! Best regards, A la Française Champagne Team 🥂
My daughter and I took a morning train from Paris to Reims. The tasting location was a very easy walk from the train station. We had some time ahead of our champagne tasting so we found a nearby Cafe, Holy Shot, and had cappacinos and croissants. The tasting started right on time and was very relaxing and informative. Afterward, we found a good restaurant to have lunch, and then visited a farmers' market. We took an afternoon train back to Paris. I would recommend this champagne tasting. The hour and a half was just the perfect length for this event.

Anne was great- very informative. She explained all the steps it takes to create champaigne and we had fun tasting too. I would suggest it as a first stop before tasting at the various area vineyards.

We met our guide, Martin, outside Trèsors de Champagne before a 2-hour session where we learned a lot about champagne production and facts related to this wine style. We were taught to recognize odour characteristics in relation to grape types and storage length. Martin is knowledgeable and speaks excellent English. Good with humor too. This suited us excellently, a small group. Final tasting perfect.

My wife and I did the small group Champagne class with Martin. He was excellent. It ended up being only the two of us with Martin. His pace was excellent and he was able to answer all of our questions. We did this event prior to taking a full day tour and I am gald we did. The tasting also includes a charcuterie board that we we not expecting, but enjoyed. The only issue we had was with the Tourism Office website when attempting to book. It froze several times and took three attempts to book the tour.
